I’m just wondering if anyone has any tips for building resilience in social situations. I’ve always thought my daughter (6) was pretty self-contained/self-assured but lately small things seem to affect her greatly. For example, if she runs into school and makes a beeline for a particular friend but the friend is already engaged so pays no attention, she will burst into tears and refuse to go in. Today, some girls were hiding in the bushes and she went to join them but was told to go away so she cried again. It wasn’t great that they didn’t invite her to join in but that is what 6 year olds can be like, mine included. She does activities out of school - drama, Rainbows etc - so it’s not so much a making friends issue as a learning that you’re not always the centre of attention issue!
Thanks.
